At first, only a few young men like Wang, Niudu, and 860 went out to work in Tianjing Village. After they invited people from the left to the right, most of the male labor force in the village left, and later the young wives followed. Think about it, you are a young man in his twenties and thirties, and you are so far apart from your wife, how can you do it without even seeing her a few times a year? The old one can only take care of his grandchildren at home. Strange to say, all the young people in the village seemed to be eating flowers and grass.

People in Tianjingzhai like to use metaphors when talking. Flowering means giving birth to a girl, and the result is giving birth to a boy. Changhuacao is a kind of herbal medicine from Tianjing Village. It is said that eating it can maintain the balance of male and female fertility.
